January 27: In the sweltering heat of the Rod Laver Arena, Jennifer Capriati returned from the brink of defeat to save four match points and subject Martina Hingis to the most demoralising defeat of her career.

Martina Hingis and Jennifer Capriati are to meet again in the final of the Australian Open. For Hingis it will be her sixth consecutive Melbourne final, and for Capriati a chance to retain her women's singles crown. But to predict a winner from the pair will be more tricky, after they both had to overcome difficulties in winning their semi-finals today.
